b'\\u201cIt\\u2019s over!\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d The shocking words crush you. \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153I\\u2019m breaking up with you.\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d Your emotions are in turmoil. What can you do? First of all, don\\u2019t bottle up the suffering, as this is damaging in the long term. Instead, acknowledge your pain. Take time to adjust. People tend to respond to breakups in a few different ways: \\nSadness: The end of a relationship can feel like a bereavement. When you\\u2019ve become accustomed to spending time with someone and sharing your plans and dreams, losing them can create an aching void.\\nDeflation: Sometimes, after we experience a rejection, feelings of emptiness and low self-esteem can follow. \\u201cWhat is wrong with me? Why am I not good enough?\\u201d We might start wondering if we are inadequate.\\nAnger: It\\u2019s common to feel frustrated or bitter with yourself and/or the person who broke up with you. Thoughts can spiral. \\u201cWhy was I such a fool? Why did you break up with me?\\u201d\\nSo how can you cope in the aftermath of a breakup? Allow yourself grieving and alone time. Jesus took time to be alone with God. He took time to weep. And Jesus has compassion on you in this moment. He loves you with an unchanging, never-give-up kind of love. He invites you to come to Him and receive His comfort. And if you\\u2019re feeling angry, you can talk to God about it. Remember that anger comes with energy, so it helps to channel this energy into something positive like exercise, a sport, or a new project.\\nBreaking up with someone can be devastating. It hurts, and it can be hard to move on. Remember, you are loved deeply by the Creator. He made you on purpose and wants the best for you. If you\\u2019ve put your trust in Jesus, you can know that God will never abandon you. His love is divine and unfathomable. He understands your brokenness, your pain, and your innermost thoughts. As you look back on memories with the person you dated, you can rely on His comfort. And as you move forward, you can follow His trustworthy leading. \\u2022 Cindy Lee\\n\\u2022 What questions do you have about dating?
